Featured

Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has revealed that he does not feel saddened for former president John Dramani Mahama for losing the December polls.

According to the veteran journalist, there exists no great leader who was accounted to be able to accomplish all his desired goals, aims or objectives before passing away from earth.

“There is no need to feel sorry for Mahama. I should feel sorry for myself. No matter what happens he will be on salary for the rest of his life. He will be comfortable and well protected unlike ordinary citizens. So why should I feel sorry for him...?” he quizzed.

“No one can finish his work. Even Dr Kwame Nkrumah and Jesus Christ didn’t finish their work. You can’t finish your work on this earth” he said on Accra based Kasapa fm.

He further stated that, President Akufo Addo can only be tagged a good president if he is able to adhere to his promises; to some point adding that some of the promises cannot be kept.

“You can only build a dam where a stream or river exists. Man-made lakes like that of Gaddafis can also help. But with some of Nana Addo’s promises, on face value, can’t be kept. Lack of the capacity to create rivers will be a problem…,”He said.

The veteran journalist urged the citizenry to help the current president to succeed by criticizing correctly where necessary.

To help President Nana Addo to succeed, he said, was not about singing praises all the time but rather “we should open severe criticisms to boost the government in power to win for all of us”.
